Hijax | =Basic Information= | ||
Hijax, a player who joined on December 8th, 2022, is known for his controversies in early 2023 and his very active state within the server and Discord. Although he has a bad reputation he has tried to change himself for the better, participating in server events, and being a peaceful player. His original name was HijaxV2, but he changed it in July of 2023. One of Hijax' projects is the "Modern SimPvP Timeline, where he has reimagined the former timeline that [[Pippinger]], and [[ostrich1414]] created, a link to the Modern Timeline can be found here: https://time.graphics/line/837718 | |||

=Early Days= | |||
On December 8th, HijaxV2 joined SimPVP for an undisclosed reason. Upon joining, he explored the spawn area until encountering [[_swiggles]_] and [[MisterHollywood]]. Despite being friendly, Swiggles resorted to spawn camping Hijax for almost two hours. Fortunately, MisterHollywood intervened and helped Hijax escape by advising him to leave. Hijax proceeded to travel down the -Z highway until stumbling upon [[castle snowfrog]] where he obtained a golden helmet and boots from a loot room. He then journeyed up the +Z nether highway until discovering a secluded spot nestled between rolling hills and vast oceans. This location would later become known as [[Valleria]], Hijax's first base. And first of many in the VAL Empire. | |||

During this | During this period, Hijax was occupied with creating various farms and expanding his base. He discovered two nearby villages and transformed the Acacia Village into a breeder village, reserving the Spruce Village for a future project. During this time, his friend riptide_vr joined the server and stayed at Valleria. Together, they improved the Villager Trading Hall, enabling them to purchase a full set of enchanted diamond armor for just 164 emeralds. They attempted to create a sand super-smelter, iron farm, and mob XP farm at the Spruce Village, but encountered a plugin issue. Hijax later visited Fortnite Base, where fellow player [[bruno_vera]] generously offered him a godset of diamond armor, which Hijax gratefully accepted as his first set of diamond armor. | ||

On December 21st, 2022, Hijax received an invitation to visit the Fortnite Base. During his journey, his pickaxe broke near the Portal, but ChuckFuk came to his rescue and provided assistance. Despite a mishap near the portal, Hijax managed to return to the Fortnite Base with supplies and settled in a half-built castle shell, making additions to the structure. This experience taught Hijax the value of preparedness and the importance of staying calm in challenging situations. | |||

==[[Pumkin Party '23]]== | |||
During the Pumpkin Party event in '23, Hijax participated as both a participant and a documenter. He captured various screenshots and cleverly named the event "Pumkin Party" (spelled intentionally). Hijax also took the initiative to create a page dedicated to Pumpkin Party '23 with all the screenshots he had taken. He looks forward to hosting another event next year on the same date. | |||

= | =Age Of Short-Term Conflicts= | ||
The | ==The Assassination of Riptide== | ||
The conflict began when Hijax and riptide_vr were working on a farm in Valleria. During that time, _swiggles_ tried to lure riptide_vr into World by asking for food, but riptide_vr declined. Later that night, Hijax and riptide_vr explored near spawn and visited Castle_Snowfrog. While riptide_vr was inside a tower, Hijax went to an old cave he used for survival. Unfortunately, riptide_vr was killed in an explosion triggered by _swiggles_. Hijax arrived at the scene and saw _swiggles_, but didn't run because they were both in COF. Hijax collected all of riptide_vr's loot and put it in his Enderchest. </br> | |||

==The Hijax Trade Embargo Incident== | |||
One of the worst things to happen to Hijax in his first month of playing was when [[antzakes1]] killed him while he was trying to trade with [[_swiggles_]] for some very cheap loot. After the unjustifiable kill, Hijax messaged [[antzakes1]] asking "why?" [[antzakes1]] told him that he would not let him trade with [[_swiggles_]] and that he would not survive. Hijax decided to trade while [[antzakes1]] was offline, but [[antzakes1]] cracked down on him even more, allowing him to trade only with specific players. When Hijax tried to get free stone in /world, [[antzakes1]] attacked him, and despite trying to reason with [[antzakes1]], Hijax ended up losing his gear after combat logging. | |||

==The Fight For Fortnite Castle== | |||
(These events did happen, but they are VERY overdramatic) | |||
TThe conflict over the Fortnite castle began when Hijax seized control of ChuckFuk's "castle" and extensively renovated it, rebranding it as "Hijax Castle." This sparked a heated feud between the two, culminating in an intense battle for dominance. Subsequently, ChuckFuk dismantled the castle, leaving Hijax seething with anger. In response, Hijax devised a retaliatory plan by rigging the castle with TNT as a booby trap, anticipating ChuckFuk's next move. ChuckFuk later returned to clean up and then departed from the Fortnite base once again. | |||
Hijax would return and restore Fortnite Castle one last time, he redid the flooring and walls, he redid the layout of the castle, and finished it. Hijax would write a book directed to [[ChuckFuk]]. Links to the photocopy of the book VVV | |||

=The Age of Bases= | |||
==[[Valleria II]] Abandonment== | |||
On January 27th, 2023, the decision was made to abandon [[Valleria II]], bringing an end to the First Vallerian Empire. The reasoning behind this decision was that Hijax felt that Valleria was not an ideal location for the Capital of the Vallerian Empire. Given his future political ambitions, he felt that he could not manage multiple capitals and bases. All former members of Valleria II were informed that the process of packing up would begin soon, and they were advised to leave the area. There would be no future king of Valleria II, and the fate of the region would be left to time to decide. | |||

==The Quick Rise & Fall of [[Valkyria]]== | |||
[[Valkyri]]a was a base that didn't last long and had numerous anonymous players. Despite its brief 20-day existence, the base expanded rapidly to cater to the various requirements of its members. It also boasted several recreational spots. Unfortunately, Valkyria's downfall was just as swift as its rise. [[COF]] compromised the base, leaving the remaining members with no choice but to abandon it. They depleted all resources and shut down all links before leaving. | |||

==III Kroses== | |||
Following his departure from Valkyria, Hijax embarked on a quest to find a new base. He searched extensively across various jungles until he found the ideal location. After terraforming a substantial portion of the land, Hijax began constructing several buildings and devising plans for the rest of the base. He extended an invitation to [[Lpmaster123]] and [[ItzPalo]] to come to the base. [[Lpmaster123]] contributed to the construction of various structures and later provided valuable suggestions for inviting other players. These screenshots are from a long time ago. Due to mounting political tension, and the rise of the conspiracy, III Kroses would lay target and be attacked by [[Antzakes1]] | |||

=[[Imperial Senate]] | COF= | |||
With the assistance of [[ItzPalo]], Hijax aimed to revamp the former Imperial Senate, going through numerous iterations before settling on its current form. Its purpose is to govern and oversee COF, particularly in the absence of higher-ups, and to contribute to the wider SimPVP community. It would later be dissolved with COF. | |||

</br>''Photo of Laztec trolling Hijax whilst in creative mode at [[III Kroses]], and a selfie of Hijax at a [[COF]] event'' | |||
==Introduction of Many New Roles | COF== | |||
Throughout its lifetime, Hijax and the IS would oversee many new roles implemented, these are, Supreme Chancellor, Senator, Supreme Senator, and an addition to a new public role is "Oglemtrooper" originally named "Deacon", it separated Trooper from Disciple, preventing insiders from getting access to quickly. ''(wink wink)'' | |||
[[ | ==Multitude of Events | COF== | ||
Before the Hijax Conspiracy, IS had organized three major events: the [[4th Lord1 Day]], [[Legions 2023]], and [[UniLegion]] (which has since been canceled). These events were primarily led by Hijax, with significant support from [[Lord1]] for funding, [[Le_Reivewer]] for planning 4th Lord1 Day, and [[MrDavid99]] for granting permission to host Legions 2023. | |||
==The Fall | COF== | |||
After Hijax' leave, IS came to a standstill and was disbanded a few months before the dissolution of COF. | |||

=The Calm Before The Storm= | |||
Although both of these are "Conflicts" they were not serious, as they were the ONLY thing that happened for around 3 weeks, Hijax used these to satisfy his boredom, and to write Wiki pages, and truthfully, the largest storm of his playing time was just about to start. | |||
==The 95Lit Scandal== | |||
There is a player under the username 95Lit who is a relatively peaceful IRL friend of Hijax, but many people think he is a Hijax alt. But that is not how he always was, before March 19th his original username was Statix999, and acted completely different, one night when [[Antzakes1]] killed him he stated that he is giving the account to a friend to completely take over and then changed the name to 95Lit. Almost a year later the alt was given to Hijax to use mainly as an AFK bot. | |||

(Completly Dramatized) | |||
The bell war is a proxy war fought at both [[Valleria]] and [[III Kroses]]. Hijax would be on the opposing side of the war, and the first to be attacked, after a long 5-day war Hijax would win "The Battle Of Valleria" and would create a peace treaty between the 2 factions, this would create a bond like no other and The Dominate was formed. (then name-changed to [[Nexus]]) | |||

=[[Hijax Conspiracy]]= | |||
The Hijax Conspiracy is a term coined by 95Lit, It is the attempted downfall and attack of Hijax and his credibility. | |||
==Growing Trust and Influence== | |||
A valuable addition to Early 2023 [[COF]] would be Hijax. He has the potential to revitalize events, propaganda, connection, credibility, and spy programs. [[Lord1]] would benefit from Hijax's assistance, and in turn, Hijax's loyalty would be rewarded with a higher rank, providing more opportunities to enhance and advance COF. | |||

==Operation Serpent== | |||
Operation Serpent was a mission tasked to Hijax directly from [[Lord1]], Its goal was to "Torture" [[Antzakes1]] and to extract info on future base griefs and other missions from him (btw, I never tried to torture antz, I only extracted info from him) Later on in the mission Hijax would be tasked with extracting info from [[OxTxXTXxTxO]] as well. Before the end of Serpent, Hijax asked Lord1 if he should invite [[egnaroky]] to [[III Kroses]] to see if he would leak info to antzakes1, Lord1 said it would be a good idea. | |||

</br> | |||
''Hijax and other COF members at the Dogsteve compound raid, partly led by Hijax, Him and other members messing around in /events'' | |||
==Kicked & Framed== | |||
The operation known as Serpent came to a close after two and a half months of work. Hijax diligently continued to gather and report information to [[Lord1]], even during Lord1's week-long vacation in Italy. However, before Lord1's return, Hijax was unexpectedly removed from [[COF]], stripped of his ranks, and labeled a Rebel and member of [[TSCOT]]. As a result, Hijax began to inquire about the situation. Additionally, other members began to mock and spread insignificant falsehoods. | |||
==The Fall of III Kroses== | |||
Hijax attempted to reach out to COF regarding his kicking issue while playing another game, but received no response from higher-ups. Meanwhile, Antzakes1 proceeded to grief [[III Kroses]], leading to chaos. Hijax wrongly accused [[COF]] for the incident, not knowing that [[Antzakes1]] was responsible for the destruction of his base. Upon realizing his mistake, Hijax came to the conclusion that his base was lost regardless of who was responsible. | |||

</br> | |||
''III Kroses during its grief, and Hijax and ItPalo before a build.'' | |||
==Radio Silence== | |||
Hijax for the next week would continue to ask why he was kicked and when someone would respond to him but received nothing in return, he would try just about anything until finally he was told they would hold a meeting to discuss what they would do. | |||
==Assassination.== | |||
During the battle of Hole Base, Hijax was ungeared and combatlogged. Later, he logged back in to attempt to kill a COF member while he was offline. In the aftermath, the base was greifed in a minimal amount, and Hijax would barely miss the kill. | |||

=First Days= | |||
Amidst the chaos of the Hijax Conspiracy, he collaborated with a small group of friends to develop Nexus. They kept it low-key and unnoticeable for quite some time. However, on April 10th, it became widely known and attracted new players to join. | |||
==[[Terminus]]== | |||
Terminus served as the first base and second capital of [[Nexus]], It was one of the longest-lasting bases from Hijax, he and Egn worked hard to turn it into a great capable farm base, with multiple extremely complex farms, and one of the largest gold farms on the server, it would meet it demise by Oxt. | |||

</br> | |||
''Hijax and Egnaroky whilst constructing Terminus.'' | |||
==Valleria Restoration== | |||
At [[Valleria]], Hijax organized the inaugural Nexus event where they successfully eliminated all the withers and also managed to restore a portion of the base. Moreover, the members were informed about the rebranding of the previous group "Dominate". | |||

''Hijax and Nexus members present at the Valleria Restoration event, ShowBizel at the recently rebuilt Valleria.'' | |||
==Inactivity and Merging== | |||
Due to the summer of 2023 arising many players within [[TSCOT]] became busy, Players like [[egnaroky]] and [[LightBlueGinger]] left for a multitude of reasons and Hijax left to travel his continent, with this he decided to push all players to join TSCOT, their sister group. They would merge on June 1st, 2023. | |||
=[[TSCOT]]= | |||
Hijax would become a T1 in TSCOT, the highest ranking member for a short period of time, Though, due to future political reasons, he would peacefully depart the group. | |||
==Continued Help== | |||
Hijax has continued to help TSCOT with planning future events, operations, and politics, throughout this time Hijax and OxT have gone back and forth about different things, typically ending with OxT saying no, and Hijax annoying OxT until he gets what he wants. | |||

"Ex" was a large-scale TSCOT base made on the world border, after asking to join the base and a small vote taking place, Hijax was accepted into Ex and he began to work a little bit on the base before he would leave for part of the summer. During one of his leaves, Ex would be griefed by [[COF]]. | |||

=The Absent Summer= | |||
Hijax knew Summer 2023 would be a busy one for him IRL, with this he warned his allies about his leave, saying he could only play for a few select times while traveling the continent. He would return in late July to play off and on. | |||
==The First Return== | |||
Hijax returns in late July after months of traveling and soon starts working on his own home base at the time [[Valleria III]], he would start expanding it and becoming a more likable player and more self-sustainable. | |||
=[[Cascadia]]/Dead Flag= | |||
Upon being invited to a newly formed base known as "Novum," Hijax was surprised to find that the site only consisted of a single house and a few decorations. Undeterred, he crossed a river and staked his claim to create his own nation, which he named "Dead Flag." Over time, Dead Flag flourished, growing to include a large castle, farms, villages, and all the necessary elements of a thriving nation, while Novum remained uninhabited. After enduring weeks of turmoil and conflict, Hijax eventually obtained the name he desired for his nation, Dead Flag, only to later change it to [[Cascadia]] due to mounting pressure. | |||

=[[Vulcan]] Era= | |||
On July 31st, 2023, Hijax founded [[Vulcan]] as his main base and passion project. Drawing inspiration from [[Yittirum]], he envisioned Vulcan as a large, bustling hub housing numerous projects. Hijax poured his energy and enthusiasm into nurturing the growth of Vulcan, aspiring for it to become renowned within the community. Tragically, the base fell victim to vandalism when it was infiltrated and griefed by [[oxt]] and other individuals. Despite this setback, Hijax remained determined to rebuild and restore Vulcan to its former glory, Thus creating [[Valtoria]] exactly one year later. | |||

=The End Of The Wasp War= | |||
After 9 months of fighting, [[The Wasp War]] would finally come to a close on September 19th, 2023, Ending the [[Hijax Conspiracy]] along with it. Hijax would create a structure for a peace deal, but plans would fall through on that meeting. It remains standing today. | |||

=The Civil War= | |||
Lord1 announced that he was giving away his crown, and teams could compete for the chance to win it. TSCOT started practicing to win, while Hijax, who had no PVP capabilities, decided to record the events and collect screenshots to share. Many of these can be found on the [[The Civil War]] wiki. In the aftermath of the war, [[Lord1]] would step down as leader of [[COF]] and dissolve the once powerful group. | |||

Early Days
On December 8th, HijaxV2 joined SimPVP for an undisclosed reason. Upon joining, he explored the spawn area until encountering [[_swiggles]_] and MisterHollywood. Despite being friendly, Swiggles resorted to spawn camping Hijax for almost two hours. Fortunately, MisterHollywood intervened and helped Hijax escape by advising him to leave. Hijax proceeded to travel down the -Z highway until stumbling upon castle snowfrog where he obtained a golden helmet and boots from a loot room. He then journeyed up the +Z nether highway until discovering a secluded spot nestled between rolling hills and vast oceans. This location would later become known as Valleria, Hijax's first base. And first of many in the VAL Empire.

Age Of Advancements
During this period, Hijax was occupied with creating various farms and expanding his base. He discovered two nearby villages and transformed the Acacia Village into a breeder village, reserving the Spruce Village for a future project. During this time, his friend riptide_vr joined the server and stayed at Valleria. Together, they improved the Villager Trading Hall, enabling them to purchase a full set of enchanted diamond armor for just 164 emeralds. They attempted to create a sand super-smelter, iron farm, and mob XP farm at the Spruce Village, but encountered a plugin issue. Hijax later visited Fortnite Base, where fellow player bruno_vera generously offered him a godset of diamond armor, which Hijax gratefully accepted as his first set of diamond armor.

Fortnite Base Shenanigans
On December 21st, 2022, Hijax received an invitation to visit the Fortnite Base. During his journey, his pickaxe broke near the Portal, but ChuckFuk came to his rescue and provided assistance. Despite a mishap near the portal, Hijax managed to return to the Fortnite Base with supplies and settled in a half-built castle shell, making additions to the structure. This experience taught Hijax the value of preparedness and the importance of staying calm in challenging situations.

Pumkin Party '23
During the Pumpkin Party event in '23, Hijax participated as both a participant and a documenter. He captured various screenshots and cleverly named the event "Pumkin Party" (spelled intentionally). Hijax also took the initiative to create a page dedicated to Pumpkin Party '23 with all the screenshots he had taken. He looks forward to hosting another event next year on the same date.
Age Of Short-Term Conflicts
The Assassination of Riptide
The conflict began when Hijax and riptide_vr were working on a farm in Valleria. During that time, _swiggles_ tried to lure riptide_vr into World by asking for food, but riptide_vr declined. Later that night, Hijax and riptide_vr explored near spawn and visited Castle_Snowfrog. While riptide_vr was inside a tower, Hijax went to an old cave he used for survival. Unfortunately, riptide_vr was killed in an explosion triggered by _swiggles_. Hijax arrived at the scene and saw _swiggles_, but didn't run because they were both in COF. Hijax collected all of riptide_vr's loot and put it in his Enderchest.

The Hijax Trade Embargo Incident
One of the worst things to happen to Hijax in his first month of playing was when antzakes1 killed him while he was trying to trade with _swiggles_ for some very cheap loot. After the unjustifiable kill, Hijax messaged antzakes1 asking "why?" antzakes1 told him that he would not let him trade with _swiggles_ and that he would not survive. Hijax decided to trade while antzakes1 was offline, but antzakes1 cracked down on him even more, allowing him to trade only with specific players. When Hijax tried to get free stone in /world, antzakes1 attacked him, and despite trying to reason with antzakes1, Hijax ended up losing his gear after combat logging.

The Fight For Fortnite Castle
(These events did happen, but they are VERY overdramatic)
TThe conflict over the Fortnite castle began when Hijax seized control of ChuckFuk's "castle" and extensively renovated it, rebranding it as "Hijax Castle." This sparked a heated feud between the two, culminating in an intense battle for dominance. Subsequently, ChuckFuk dismantled the castle, leaving Hijax seething with anger. In response, Hijax devised a retaliatory plan by rigging the castle with TNT as a booby trap, anticipating ChuckFuk's next move. ChuckFuk later returned to clean up and then departed from the Fortnite base once again. Hijax would return and restore Fortnite Castle one last time, he redid the flooring and walls, he redid the layout of the castle, and finished it. Hijax would write a book directed to ChuckFuk.

The Age of Bases
Valleria II Abandonment
On January 27th, 2023, the decision was made to abandon Valleria II, bringing an end to the First Vallerian Empire. The reasoning behind this decision was that Hijax felt that Valleria was not an ideal location for the Capital of the Vallerian Empire. Given his future political ambitions, he felt that he could not manage multiple capitals and bases. All former members of Valleria II were informed that the process of packing up would begin soon, and they were advised to leave the area. There would be no future king of Valleria II, and the fate of the region would be left to time to decide.

The Quick Rise & Fall of Valkyria
Valkyria was a base that didn't last long and had numerous anonymous players. Despite its brief 20-day existence, the base expanded rapidly to cater to the various requirements of its members. It also boasted several recreational spots. Unfortunately, Valkyria's downfall was just as swift as its rise. COF compromised the base, leaving the remaining members with no choice but to abandon it. They depleted all resources and shut down all links before leaving.
III Kroses
Following his departure from Valkyria, Hijax embarked on a quest to find a new base. He searched extensively across various jungles until he found the ideal location. After terraforming a substantial portion of the land, Hijax began constructing several buildings and devising plans for the rest of the base. He extended an invitation to Lpmaster123 and ItzPalo to come to the base. Lpmaster123 contributed to the construction of various structures and later provided valuable suggestions for inviting other players. These screenshots are from a long time ago. Due to mounting political tension, and the rise of the conspiracy, III Kroses would lay target and be attacked by Antzakes1
Imperial Senate | COF
With the assistance of ItzPalo, Hijax aimed to revamp the former Imperial Senate, going through numerous iterations before settling on its current form. Its purpose is to govern and oversee COF, particularly in the absence of higher-ups, and to contribute to the wider SimPVP community. It would later be dissolved with COF.

Introduction of Many New Roles | COF
Throughout its lifetime, Hijax and the IS would oversee many new roles implemented, these are, Supreme Chancellor, Senator, Supreme Senator, and an addition to a new public role is "Oglemtrooper" originally named "Deacon", it separated Trooper from Disciple, preventing insiders from getting access to quickly. (wink wink)
Multitude of Events | COF
Before the Hijax Conspiracy, IS had organized three major events: the 4th Lord1 Day, Legions 2023, and UniLegion (which has since been canceled). These events were primarily led by Hijax, with significant support from Lord1 for funding, Le_Reivewer for planning 4th Lord1 Day, and MrDavid99 for granting permission to host Legions 2023.
The Fall | COF
After Hijax' leave, IS came to a standstill and was disbanded a few months before the dissolution of COF.
Dual photos of Legions, The COF minigames event Hijax created and hosted.
The Calm Before The Storm
Although both of these are "Conflicts" they were not serious, as they were the ONLY thing that happened for around 3 weeks, Hijax used these to satisfy his boredom, and to write Wiki pages, and truthfully, the largest storm of his playing time was just about to start.
The 95Lit Scandal
There is a player under the username 95Lit who is a relatively peaceful IRL friend of Hijax, but many people think he is a Hijax alt. But that is not how he always was, before March 19th his original username was Statix999, and acted completely different, one night when Antzakes1 killed him he stated that he is giving the account to a friend to completely take over and then changed the name to 95Lit. Almost a year later the alt was given to Hijax to use mainly as an AFK bot.

The Bell War
(Completly Dramatized) The bell war is a proxy war fought at both Valleria and III Kroses. Hijax would be on the opposing side of the war, and the first to be attacked, after a long 5-day war Hijax would win "The Battle Of Valleria" and would create a peace treaty between the 2 factions, this would create a bond like no other and The Dominate was formed. (then name-changed to Nexus)
Screenshots of the Torture devices Hijax had installed near 95Lit's house.
Hijax Conspiracy
The Hijax Conspiracy is a term coined by 95Lit, It is the attempted downfall and attack of Hijax and his credibility.
Growing Trust and Influence
A valuable addition to Early 2023 COF would be Hijax. He has the potential to revitalize events, propaganda, connection, credibility, and spy programs. Lord1 would benefit from Hijax's assistance, and in turn, Hijax's loyalty would be rewarded with a higher rank, providing more opportunities to enhance and advance COF.

Operation Serpent
Operation Serpent was a mission tasked to Hijax directly from Lord1, Its goal was to "Torture" Antzakes1 and to extract info on future base griefs and other missions from him (btw, I never tried to torture antz, I only extracted info from him) Later on in the mission Hijax would be tasked with extracting info from OxTxXTXxTxO as well. Before the end of Serpent, Hijax asked Lord1 if he should invite egnaroky to III Kroses to see if he would leak info to antzakes1, Lord1 said it would be a good idea.

Kicked & Framed
The operation known as Serpent came to a close after two and a half months of work. Hijax diligently continued to gather and report information to Lord1, even during Lord1's week-long vacation in Italy. However, before Lord1's return, Hijax was unexpectedly removed from COF, stripped of his ranks, and labeled a Rebel and member of TSCOT. As a result, Hijax began to inquire about the situation. Additionally, other members began to mock and spread insignificant falsehoods.
The Fall of III Kroses
Hijax attempted to reach out to COF regarding his kicking issue while playing another game, but received no response from higher-ups. Meanwhile, Antzakes1 proceeded to grief III Kroses, leading to chaos. Hijax wrongly accused COF for the incident, not knowing that Antzakes1 was responsible for the destruction of his base. Upon realizing his mistake, Hijax came to the conclusion that his base was lost regardless of who was responsible.

Radio Silence
Hijax for the next week would continue to ask why he was kicked and when someone would respond to him but received nothing in return, he would try just about anything until finally he was told they would hold a meeting to discuss what they would do.
Assassination.
During the battle of Hole Base, Hijax was ungeared and combatlogged. Later, he logged back in to attempt to kill a COF member while he was offline. In the aftermath, the base was greifed in a minimal amount, and Hijax would barely miss the kill.
Photos of Hole Base the night before its grief, and a photo of Valleria after its first grief.
First Days
Amidst the chaos of the Hijax Conspiracy, he collaborated with a small group of friends to develop Nexus. They kept it low-key and unnoticeable for quite some time. However, on April 10th, it became widely known and attracted new players to join.
Terminus
Terminus served as the first base and second capital of Nexus, It was one of the longest-lasting bases from Hijax, he and Egn worked hard to turn it into a great capable farm base, with multiple extremely complex farms, and one of the largest gold farms on the server, it would meet it demise by Oxt.

Valleria Restoration
At Valleria, Hijax organized the inaugural Nexus event where they successfully eliminated all the withers and also managed to restore a portion of the base. Moreover, the members were informed about the rebranding of the previous group "Dominate".

Inactivity and Merging
Due to the summer of 2023 arising many players within TSCOT became busy, Players like egnaroky and LightBlueGinger left for a multitude of reasons and Hijax left to travel his continent, with this he decided to push all players to join TSCOT, their sister group. They would merge on June 1st, 2023.
TSCOT
Hijax would become a T1 in TSCOT, the highest ranking member for a short period of time, Though, due to future political reasons, he would peacefully depart the group.
Continued Help
Hijax has continued to help TSCOT with planning future events, operations, and politics, throughout this time Hijax and OxT have gone back and forth about different things, typically ending with OxT saying no, and Hijax annoying OxT until he gets what he wants.
Excabor
"Ex" was a large-scale TSCOT base made on the world border, after asking to join the base and a small vote taking place, Hijax was accepted into Ex and he began to work a little bit on the base before he would leave for part of the summer. During one of his leaves, Ex would be griefed by COF.

The Absent Summer
Hijax knew Summer 2023 would be a busy one for him IRL, with this he warned his allies about his leave, saying he could only play for a few select times while traveling the continent. He would return in late July to play off and on.
The First Return
Hijax returns in late July after months of traveling and soon starts working on his own home base at the time Valleria III, he would start expanding it and becoming a more likable player and more self-sustainable.
Cascadia/Dead Flag
Upon being invited to a newly formed base known as "Novum," Hijax was surprised to find that the site only consisted of a single house and a few decorations. Undeterred, he crossed a river and staked his claim to create his own nation, which he named "Dead Flag." Over time, Dead Flag flourished, growing to include a large castle, farms, villages, and all the necessary elements of a thriving nation, while Novum remained uninhabited. After enduring weeks of turmoil and conflict, Hijax eventually obtained the name he desired for his nation, Dead Flag, only to later change it to Cascadia due to mounting pressure.

Vulcan Era
On July 31st, 2023, Hijax founded Vulcan as his main base and passion project. Drawing inspiration from Yittirum, he envisioned Vulcan as a large, bustling hub housing numerous projects. Hijax poured his energy and enthusiasm into nurturing the growth of Vulcan, aspiring for it to become renowned within the community. Tragically, the base fell victim to vandalism when it was infiltrated and griefed by oxt and other individuals. Despite this setback, Hijax remained determined to rebuild and restore Vulcan to its former glory, Thus creating Valtoria exactly one year later.

The End Of The Wasp War
After 9 months of fighting, The Wasp War would finally come to a close on September 19th, 2023, Ending the Hijax Conspiracy along with it. Hijax would create a structure for a peace deal, but plans would fall through on that meeting. It remains standing today.

The Civil War
Lord1 announced that he was giving away his crown, and teams could compete for the chance to win it. TSCOT started practicing to win, while Hijax, who had no PVP capabilities, decided to record the events and collect screenshots to share. Many of these can be found on the The Civil War wiki. In the aftermath of the war, Lord1 would step down as leader of COF and dissolve the once powerful group.

After COF was dissolved and the crown was awarded to Sav5, He and Hijax would later come to a deal, with the crown now in his hands, Hijax decided that it was a good time to leave TSCOT. He would leave TSCOT and the server as a whole around Christmas 2023.

The Flood & Future
For perspective, I live in Chimney Rock, NC.
Hurricane Helene was categorized and labeled on Tuesday, September 24th, 2024, and appeared to be powerful and to make haste towards my mountain town, three hundred miles north of the nearest ocean, the Gulf of Mexico. There where no warning, there were no evacuations, and there was close to zero media coverage of what was to come.
The hurricane hit with almost full intensity of all of Western North Carolina, ravaging towns and all forms of infrastructure, and towns were washed downstream. Mine in particular. Although my house is fine, I cannot say that about 75% of other people in this town, and 50% of people in this whole region of the continent. The official death toll is nearing 200, and the missing is within unconfirmed statements nearing 2000.
Millions where without power, gas, water, heat, and food for upwards of 15 days, I myself had nothing for nearly 11 days. It was a pure shitshow.
I write this to bring attention to the situation, this needs to be talked about and not covered up in the wake of the 2024 election. As it was a massive bipartisan failure of the US Government.
My town is gone and my ability to play will be seriously hindered.
